Claire is a lifelong animal lover, devout admirer of her gorgeous Kelpie ‘Red’, Veterinarian and a passionate problem solver. Having spent the past 13 years caring for animals as a neighbourhood vet in Melbourne, Sydney and the UK, Claire was frustrated by the current pet health system where the the cost, the inconvenience or lack of out of hours services provided by local brick and mortar clinics means pet-parents are often left without options to get answers in their time of need.

This was the inspiration to create Vetchat so that Vets, pets and parents can work together without boundaries.

Vetchat is an online platform that connects veterinarians with pet owners to help their pets. We deliver easy access to affordable, expert vet advice via 1:1 video consultations and on demand chat. By being readily available when you need us most, we’re making vet care easier to access and understand for pet-parents everywhere.
